Suspect charged in shooting of baseball coach

A charge of attempted murder was filed this morning against a community league baseball player who police said argued with his coach over playing time over the weekend and shot him.

Deangelo Williams, 21, of the 10400 block of South State Street in Roseland, is scheduled to appear in bond court later today.

At about 2:20 p.m. Sunday, witnesses said a man shot his baseball coach in the arm and back at a baseball diamond near 95th Street and Michigan Avenue, according to police. The baseball diamond is steps away from Harlan Community Academy.

The suspect, who originally was said to be 19, escaped, but police said at the time they knew who they were looking for. Earlier this morning, police said they had located him and were questioning him. But they provided no information on how or when he was found.

The 44-year-old coach, Glynn Hall, was treated and released from Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn early Monday despite having two bullets still lodged in his body.

The shooting followed an argument between the player and Hall, with the player upset that he had been pulled from the game, a teammate of the suspect said. The player, police said, went to retrieve a gun from his car before shooting the coach.
